Won't be in the same car in 12 months time mate. The front arm bushings are an advisory item, and very likely to still be an advisory this time next year. It's not noticeable when driving, either.

How well do rusty arches roll?!andyj
There's no F in Quality..
Cheers Andy
Unfortunatley not mate, pre-booked Curry night with the lads from work!
Not very........
Especially the ones on yours !

Thought as much! Started saving for the next one now, just not worth sorting the rust I don't think.
It will make a great track car or daily for someone in 6/12 months time though
Edit: Feck me, 1,300 posts

6-12months..... don't tempt me... but bear me in mind

List of jobs for SpringFest:
1. New track rod ends
2. Tracking
3. Paint and fit new grille (old one snapped when I removed it last time)
4. Re-fit front bumper (one side has come unclipped)
So, one track rod end was done today. The other side is not moving off the track rod, so it'll have to go to a garage to get heated up.

Looks good mate, i've been going over mine today sorting out a few minor imperfections, MK2's definately find ways to keep you interested/busy
Indeed it did sell, took a deposit (as they requested to secure it) booked it in to have the work done and then they rang saying they could'nt have it anymore and that they don't want the deposit back as they messed me around.
So i have a GTi with the work that needed doing almost paid for by their deposit.
Bizzarre doesn't even come close to describing it all
Puzzled as hell mate. Its getting the work done now anyway as it'd be daft not to.
I've not re-advertised as I don't have a clue what to do, but as i've gone to town on having it repaired i think i'll hang on to it for the short term.

It maybe a sign for you that you have to keep it for a while longer.
Update:
Track rod ends: Done
Tracking: Done
Paint grille: Had a kiwi grille I bought from the 'bay. I also had a bottle of Nitromors which claimed to be safe on modern plastics (and I quote) "such as ABS". The said Nitromors was applied (generously), and as it turns out, it's NOT safe on ABS. Arse.
So, anyone got a facelift grille to sell?
Re-fit front bumper: Done.
No, I can see the funny side. In future, when a label says "try on a hidden area first", I'll take heed!
Took me an hour to separate it from the slatted grille too
